High noon (do not forsake me)

High noon (do not forsake me) Lyrics

Do not forsake me oh my darlin'
On this our wedding day
Do not forsake me oh my darlin'
Wait, wait along.

I do not know what fate awaits me (oh, my darling)
I only know I must be brave
And I must face a man who hates me
Or lie a coward, a craven coward
Or lie a coward in my grave.

Oh, to be turned 'twixt love and duty
S'posin' I lose my fair haired beauty
Look at that big hand move along
Near in high noon
He made a vow while in State's prison
Vowed it would be my life or his'n
I'm not afraid of death but, oh
What will I do if you leave me.

Do not forsake me oh my darlin' (oh, my darling)
You made that promise as a bride
Do not forsake me oh my darlin'
Although you're grievin'
Don't think of leavin'
Now, that I need you by my side
Wait along, wait along.
Wait along, wait along.
Wait along, wait along...
